Blue Doors, in the Port of Entry part of Universal’s Islands of Adventure, near Orlando. This image was shot as a RAW file, then converted by Photomatix to a pseudo-HDR (”pseudo” because a true HDR uses more than one image). I kicked it around a little with Photoshop Elements 5, and posted it on up.
Over the year and some that I’ve been blogging, I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with a number of smart, strong, and caring people. Today I’m thinking particularly of the women I’ve encountered, all of whom have shown incredible strength (and patience with my crusty nature), and all of whom have had some travails since I got to know them through this medium: family, money, health, children, the whole gamut. I offer up what words of kindness and encouragement I can, and always hope that things go well with them. They know who they are, and to avoid the risk of forgetting someone, I’m going to assume they’ll read this post, and know they are on my mind. They have shown grace, strength, and a form of caring to light up the world.
Here’s a song I like which I’m dedicating to all my female blogging friends, Corrinne May singing “Little Superhero Girl” to an anime film:
While looking for the song, I found that someone had taught a class of young women to sing this song, and it touched me:
Thanks for everything.
